Gary Neville thinks Manchester United's pursuit of Jadon Sancho has become a 'little desperate'.
The 20-year-old has been United's primary transfer target all summer, but the club have struggled to complete a deal with Borussia Dortmund.
And Neville believes it is time United start looking at other targets.
"Like everyone else they had three months off because of coronavirus, so I don't think it should be the case they didn't have the resource or time to get things done," he told the Daily Mail.
"Chelsea got their business done, [Manchester] City have got three or four pieces done. I don't think timing's the issue.
"It's just a thing with United that every time they go for a player in the last four, five, six years it feels they are a little bit desperate.
"They think they can hang on but they always pay it [the asking price] in the end.
"That's sometimes where I think you can take control, give a hard deadline and say 'we're moving away from this deal'."
